2 INSTALLATION
2.1 Site Selection
The following are guidelines for site selection. These guidelines must be followed to ensure proper
installation.
If the Loop-IP 6100 EIU is to be rack mounted, location of the Rack Cage should be part of the central office
equipment layout design. Considerations should be given to entrance cable routing and direct current power
cable routing, if needed. The installation site should have the appropriate power feed (22 to 72 Vdc).
Similar considerations should be given for mounting on a desktop. The unit is stackable, using available
protective rubber feet for each unit.
Relatively humidity should stay between 0 and 95%. Do not operate the unit at an altitude greater than
5000m (15,000 feet).

2.2 Mechanical Installation, Electrical Installation and Self Test

2.2.1 Mechanical Installation
The Loop-IP 6100 EIU can be installed as a desk top unit or mounted in a 19 or 23-inch rack by purchasing
an additional tray.

2.2.2 Electrical Installation
DC power (24 to 60 Vdc) will be used. Power connection is at the front of the unit. Power is inserted via a 3-
pin terminal block. Table 2-1 lists the pin definition for the power connector.

1 V DC 22 to 72 Volts
2 Ground Ground
3 NC No Connection


The Ethernet port can be accessed via an Ethernet 100Base-T interface. Pin definitions are listed in Table 2-2,
below.

2.2.3 Installation and Self Test Instructions

1. In order to properly install your Loop-IP 6100 EIU you will need:
75 ohm coaxial cable
Crossover 100Base-T Cat 5 Cable
Note This crossover cable will be required if the pinout at the network port you are
connecting to is identical to the pinout at the Loop-IP 6100 data port.
Straight 100Base-T cable

2. Prepare the Loop-IP 6100 EIU for a self-test. First connect the coaxial and crossover cables to the unit
as shown in Figure 2-1 below. Do NOT connect to the DS3 or E3 network yet.
Note: EIU operates in FULL duplex only. The Self Test does not indicate improper
configuration of the 100Base T connection.





Figure 2- 1 Self Test Connections





3. Apply power to the Loop-IP 6100 EIU. It will sense that the cables are connected and will run in Self
Test Mode. Compare the LEDs to the Self Test LED colors in Table 2-3. below After verifying that the
LED lights show correct states, shut the power off and remove the cables.

Table 2- 4 Self Test LED States

The Loop-IP 6100 Self Test runs automatically after startup when configured as shown above.
When in this configuration, PROPER FUNCTION is indicated by the following LED states.
LED NAME COLOR
1 PWR Green
2 TRIB Green
3 TEST Link Green
4 TEST Activity Yellow
5 DATA Link Green
6 DATA Activity Yellow
Any other LED states indicate unit failure and the unit should be returned for repair.

4. Install the unit in the shelf (either single or dual rack mount) if rack mounting. Use a minimum of 14
gauge wire (1.5 mm) and suitable ground lugs to terminate ground between the IP 6100 ground post and
a nearby grounding point. Verify the ground continuity with an ohmeter.
5. Install the coaxial cables between the unit and the DS3 or E3 network.
6. Use a proper Ethernet 100Base-T cable to connect the units RJ45 Data Port to your network equipment.
7. Apply power to the unit.

3 OPERATION
This chapter describes the Loop-IP 6100 operational functions.

3.1 Starting the Loop-IP 6100 EIU

After properly completing the installation process, apply power (22 to 72 Vdc) to the Loop-IP 6100 EIU.

3.2 LED States

There are two LEDs on the left-hand side of the front panel. One is labeled PWR and one is labeled TRIB.
The DATA port on the RHS of the front panel also has two LEDs. The operating states of LEDS are shown
in Figure 3-1 below.
